How to get User preferences?

[Gurram Gurram]

Hi,

From my plug-in code, I want to access the User preferences for "Own Changes:" filed. Here is my code

Preferences userPrefs = ComponentManager.getInstance().getUserPreferencesManager().getPreferences(currentUser);

String userOwnChanges = userPrefs.getString(PreferenceKeys.USER_NOTIFY_OWN_CHANGES);

I am getting the following exception

com.opensymphony.module.propertyset.InvalidPropertyTypeException: Tried to retrieve PropertySet key 'user.notify.own.changes' as a String, but it is the wrong type.

Sorry, when I use getBoolean, it works.

According to https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/GADGETS010/Gadget+Object+API. To get preference you must call gadget.getPref("your_pref_name"); in gadget.xml file. Than you can pass it parametr to your rest source (via params) to make backend logic and return correct response.

For getting user preferences from a gadget instance (portlet) programatically in java, you can find a good article here:

Hi,

iam searching for a solution to read and update user preferences of a gadget in mein Rest service? How can I access the portlet instance preferences? The following does only return the global JIRA preferences:

ComponentAccessor.getInstance().getUserPreferencesManager().getPreferences(currentUser);

Regards
